Boston can kiss his(gameplayer's) shiny metal ass... There was once a time when The Philly teams dominated during the late 70's and early 80's, and after the 76ers won the NBA championship in 1983 they haven't won since... what I'm saying is what goes around, comes around...

When I first ask gameplayer about expanding his tournament, I suggested about 12-16 cities/regions... which ended up being between 350 and 500 players... which was crazy! We settled on this which is a lot more managable.

Put me on the reserve list GP, reguardless of anything, my alligence is to PHILLY!!!!

not joining because i'm freemium, but i'd like to put in a suggestion.

instead of the liberty, maybe you could do the Giants or Jets? because really? no football team for the new york region is kinda a joke

philladelphia should not include the nets, in fact, they're changing their name to the brooklyn nets soon i believe, maybe you could use the AFL team the philadelphia soul?

and as for dc, the mystics should be replaced by either the ravens or the orioles.

i just don't think the wnba teams are worth-while, and the teams that i've mentioned might be a better fit in this male dominated website... and as for the nets, i dunno, i just don't really like the idea that you lump philly and nj together. it makes for a bad combination

you could have had more cities, just less teams per... it would have allowed you to choose the best teams too...
